"Cropredy Y2K"

"Kristina Donahue fronted her dad's Backroom Boys for a few songs, making an immediate impression over the loudest band of the weekend, inducing some spontaneous tippling on a be-Lizzy'd Whiskey In The Jar...

"If Kellie While made no overt homage to such vocal mentors, Kristina Donahue assuredly did, returning during the ubiquitous Fairport closing set on Saturday night to sing her favourite Sandy (Denny) number, Gold Dust - seemingly unintimidated by such an extraordinarily difficult song or backing that bore the might of musical history." - Clinton Heylin, Mojo Review 2003

Bio

Daughter of legendary guitarist Jerry Donahue, granddaughter of the late 1940s/50s Big Band leader Sam Donahue and TV and film actress, Patricia Donahue, and niece of the late Marc Donahue, Kristina is a natural talent; singing and dancing before she could walk or talk. She made her rock and roll debut at the Fairport Convention Cropredy Festival in 1999 singing to an audience of more than 20,000 people. She was invited back the following year, performing a full set for both nights of the festival which garnered rave reviews from MOJO Magazine for her stage presence and versatility as a vocalist. "(She made) an immediate impression over the loudest band of the weekend, seemingly un-intimidated by such an extraordinarily difficult song or backing that bore the might of musical history."

Kristina has spent the past two years performing in various cover and original bands all over Los Angeles and has recently focused on her solo project, drawing upon the style of such musical influences as Robert Plant, Gwen Stefani, Stevie Nicks, Sublime, and Sheryl Crow, to name only a few, creating a unique synergy for her avid audience all while weaving her dark vocal timbre and earthy graciousness to lull the listener and captivate and audience of 25 or 25,000.
